Option 1: 29°
Option 2: 26°
Option 3: 27°
Option 4: 28°
Correct Answer: 28°
Solution : Given that $\cos (3 \alpha)=\sin \left(\alpha-22^{\circ}\right)$ and $3 \alpha<90^{\circ}$, $⇒\cos (3 \alpha)=\cos \left\{90^{\circ}-(\alpha-22^{\circ}\right)\}$ [$\because \cos (90^{\circ} - \theta) = \sin \theta$] $⇒3 \alpha = 90^{\circ}-\alpha+22^{\circ}$ $⇒4 \alpha = 112^{\circ}$ $⇒\alpha = 28^{\circ}$ Hence, the correct answer is 28°.
